Summary of Kazimierz Dabrowski's Personality-Shaping Through Positive Disintegration

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The term self is of a metaphysical nature. It is not clearly defined, and is used in various senses. It is the distinctness of the existence of a human being, the source of his mental activity, and the individual substratum of his mental structure.

#2 Personality is the name given to an individual who is developed and positive, both with respect to the scope and level of the most essential positive human qualities. Personality is not necessarily involved in various general human problems, but if a person possesses it, he embraces with his intellect, sensitivity, and activity all the truly essential problems of mankind.

#3 The problem of personality is to give a comprehensive conception of personality that is free from mutable and therefore nonessential qualities. We attempt to base our conception on standards and human values that have been accepted and realized by man since the very beginning of his culture.

#4 The majority of humans are mixed types, with positive and negative characteristics existing side by side in them. However, in general, positive characteristics grow in strength and importance.
